CAUTION: When performing non-hot-plug operations, you must power down the server and/or the system. However, it
may be necessary to leave the server powered up when performing other operations, such as hot-plug installations or
troubleshooting.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in
this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Electrostatic discharge
Be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling components. A discharge of static
electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage
may reduce the life expectancy of the system or component.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
•
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
•
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
•
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
•
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly. Use one or more of the following
methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
◦
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible
straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the
strap snug against the skin.
◦
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on
conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
◦
Use conductive field service tools.
◦
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized reseller.
